The Pope County Election Commission voted last week to take action against suspected voter fraud.

The commission decided to have Election Coordinator Sherry Polsgrove type up a sample letter that would be sent to voters suspected of committing voter fraud.

The sample letter will be sent to Tim Humphries, general counsel for the Secretary of State, in Little Rock for approval. If Humphries approves the letter, it will be sent to voters the commission believes voted illegally in past elections and it will remain on file to be sent to future offenders.

At the commission's Oct. 2, 2013 meeting, Polsgrove alerted commissioners of suspected voter fraud during early voting for the Aug. 13 special election for the city of Russellville.

Polsgrove said a voter cast a ballot on Aug. 6 using an incorrect address.

The voter confirmed the address at the polling place, but after further review, it was determined the address could not have been the voter's residence because it was a business address.

"People are to vote where they live," Commissioner Portia Short said at Thursday's meeting.
